EBS launches the EBS Guitar Zone - A Blog dedicated to guitarists with EBS effects!
Since we made the update on the Black Label Pedals to true bypass in 2008, we have seen an exploding interest in EBS effects among guitarists. To meet that and to give some input on the use of EBS effects with guitar, we are now launching the EBS Guitar Zone - a blog dedicated to guitarists with EBS effects! The guitar zone is in its womb and already contain feedback from some of the guitarists that endorse EBS pedals, as well as video clips showing EBS pedals in use with guitar. With time we will implement more resources like soundclips, more video samples and independent reviews. We hope that our customers that are guitarists will share their thoughts and ideas as well!
